| One or two subs WITHOUT any doubt...2 subs are better than 1. I believe it is best to have 2 of the same subs which ever you choose. Get the best subs you can afford. I use a single Rel in my 2 channel - using the Neutrik Connection. But it is barely on...the cro... | |
| power cable length importance The people at Nordost believe that longer cables will sound better, especially power cords. Their explanation or analogy goes something like this: Strike a 1 meter pole and the sound will be thin without much decay - strike a 2 and then 3 meter po... | |
| Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact? The Slp-05 at the show has been seriously modified by Chapman Audio not Cary. Many mods were done both physically and electronically. He even drilled the chassis in order to fit those Black Treasure Tubes. | |
| Krell S1200- Among the best sounding processors? WOW !!! I have not heard the Krell S1200..I have heard the Classe SSP-800 processor in a surround set up with some older Classe amps through B&W 802's and the sound was incredible. The Classe processor is regarded as one of the best....Having ... | |
| cardas golden cros vs golden reference I use several Cardas products in both of my systems - 2 channel and Theater. I agree with most of the posts I have read about Cardas cables - The Golden Reference, Golden Cross and neutral ref or all very musical cables. The Golden Cross is absolu... | |
| Marantz AV8003 Processor I own the AV 8003 - It's a reasonable priced, terrific Processor - It sounds wonderful in theater applications, but like most processors, it dosen't make for the best 2 channel preamp. | |
| DTS Master Audio how to wire?? I believe your answer is NO - You need HDMI to Bitstream DTS Master Audio & Dolby True HD - But like already mentioned, If your bluray decodes them you can send out the formats from your player using Analog cables. Why aren't you using HDMI in... | |
| Using 2 Subwoofers 100 % agree with Drummermitchel | |
| Using 2 Subwoofers I use 2 JL F110's in the A/V room - and I can say that 2 subs sound a lot better than one. The overall response is smoother - there is no localization - and it's a huge presentation - Just a solid Wall of bass - One is good but it looses that magic | |
| Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005 As to whether or not the EQ sounds better... I'd imagine that is system and room dependent. ON Mine, I still prefer the sound without the EQ applied using FIOS as the Source. Yes, it does add some punch and dynamics but I feel the sound to be more... | |
| Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005 OK - I got it - sorry for the mix up | |
| Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005 Check the Marantz site for specs on the AV 7005 RECEIVER - not sure why you would want to process the HD Codecs - I find them to sound perfect in every way...I always thought that was deliberate - it doesn't do it because it doesn't need it...Also... | |
| Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005 I have owned the AV8003 for a couple of years now and besides sounding great, it has never given me a problem in any area. Knowing Marantz, the AV 7005 will probably be a great piece as well, BUT it is a Receiver, as opposed to separates - The AV ... | |
| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? I have used the Hi Fi Fuses on a Krell 400xi, Kav 2250 and a Cary SLP-05 all with positive results. In each case they added a touch of refinement and resolution - I can compare it to how a system sounds at night as opposed to the day, IF YOU KNOW ... | |
| Suggestions on a home theater processor? I love my Marantz AV 8003 - You get a lot of bang for the buck and it's a great performer all trhe way around |
